TIL that I'm taking the receptionist out on a date tomorrow. I walked into the office and two people glanced at me and stopped talking. Half an hour later I asked one of them what they'd been talking about, and he told me they'd been talking about my date with her tomorrow evening. He also said they'd asked her about it and she'd said it was the first she'd heard of it. So far, nobody's told us where I promised to take her, so I have to hope I'll hear that rumour tomorrow, and that I have something suitable to wear.

I already knew about it, but if you're gonna have that attitude I'm not telling you where you're supposed to be taking her. I'll let you figure it out for yourself, but I will tell you to wear a tuxedo and bring 2 cans of silly string and a single rain poncho with the Albanian flag.

"The Universe is for raptors now!" say Raptors, as they take over all of Universe.

This is why it's now called "global climate change" instead of "global warming". A few degrees in air temperature doesn't mean much; after all, temperature can vary a hundred degrees every year. But the disruption of the pattern of global temperatures is what destroys ecosystems.

Spoiler:

I once had an apartment where the location of the thermostat induced a reverse effect, where raising the thermostat setting lowered the temperature in my room.
